LIVINGSTON MANOR — The Tortoise and the Hare Hike — a Catskills "Lark in the Park" event — will be held at 3 p.m. tomorrow.

Hikers should arrive at the Frick Pond trailhead on Beech Mountain Road in Mongaup State Park by 3 p.m. You'll have the choice of two groups: the Tortoises will amble around gorgeous, tucked-away Frick Pond (2.2 miles of easy walking) while the Hares will head off to Times Square, then uphill for 1.1 miles to the Flynn Trail and loop back (3.7 miles).

Dogs that are seasoned hikers are welcome on a leash. Waterproof shoes and layered clothing are recommended.

Group size is limited for the hike, so preregistration is required. Contact Lisa Lyons at 439-5507 or email info@morgan-outdoors.com.

The Catskill "Lark in the Park" began in 2004 to recognize the centennial of the Catskill Park. Coordination of this annual event is a partnership between the Catskill Mountain Club, the Catskill Center for Conservation and Development, and the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference.
